Have to confess a little uneasy about this. Hope Mar A Lago is a fortress for this visit.Quote:
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump will host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday at his resort in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump said on Tuesday, a sign the two men are looking to improve ties.
"Looking forward to welcoming Bibi Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida," the former U.S. president said in a post on Truth Social, using Netanyahu's nickname.
The meeting will be their first since the end of Trump's presidency, during which the two forged close ties, and comes at a time of strains also between Netanyahu and Democratic President Joe Biden over Israel's war against Hamas militants in Gaza.

More than just posting a link.
Obviously interesting in looking at where foreign leaders priorities lie and who they respect.

No, quite the opposite.BlueTaze said:
I'm hearing a lot of pundits say "just release the hostages if you want the war to end". I heard BNet say "he won't rest, until hostages are home". But are there really any formal assurances that Israel will stop waging war on Hamas/Palestinians if the hostages are returned?
I think it is more 'surrender and' rather than just 'release the hostages'. Hamas must surrender also.BlueTaze said:

Trump should be extremely cautious. I would not be shocked if the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago and arrested he and Netanyahu.Quote:

Good. Hamas needs to be permanently destroyed.Actual Talking Thermos said:No, quite the opposite.BlueTaze said:

Hopefully they won't stop punishing their enemy, the aggressors, until they kill everyone and everything in Gaza, and destroy the infrastructure.BlueTaze said:

I have seen a few of his shows. Worried is the least of it. Mar A Lago also serving as a public space (even if members only) is my biggest concern. Trump, being Trump, often mingles with his guests. He's simply too accessible by nature.Schneider Electric said:
Watch Bongino show the last 2 days and you will be even more worried.
The USSS is being run by incompetent political operatives.

Probably getting info and expertise about their "iron dome" defense system. Trump wants one for us.
I always thought we developed most of it under Reagan's Star Wars initiative? Knew some people who worked at Sandia Labs in the 80s. They could never talk about what they were working on, of course but they were excited about defense breakthroughs.C@LAg said:we paid for a huge chunk of it.PatriotAg02 said:

That just criminalizes unauthorized negotiations by private citizens with foreign governments. Trump and Bibi can meet together and it not be illegal.aggiehawg said:Logan Act?Tailgate88 said:On what charges?Ellis Wyatt said:Trump should be extremely cautious.
